How much do you think it would cost to build a 10' x 10' chicken coop?

My daughters and I built my 8 X 12 coop a few years ago, and it cost me about $500. It's always better to err on the side of building larger rather than smaller! Chickens have a way of becoming addictive!!

We built my chicken coop out of stuff we found laying in the alley and on vacant lots.  Election time is a great time to collect coop materials.  Politicians put up a lot of signs that they never seem to take down afterward.  Especially if they lose.

My hens live in the Obama "Hope" coop.  Hope they lay eggs.

My chickens have no idea nor do they care that they are living in a ghetto coop.

I am thinking of buying a wood shed kit from Lowes (just needs flooring and shingles). The kit is about 950 dollars, plus the prince of 4 sheets of OSB and 5 bundles of shingles. I figure buying the kit is a lot easier for this female to handle versus cutting the boards. I'm also going to have 10x24' outdoor run for the 20 hens I want.

I may have to price the lumber and see what is cheaper (adding in some for labor if I build it myself)
